Naval Architecture
The Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) with Honours prepares students for careers in the shipbuilding industry, designing and constructing luxury super yachts, sailing and power craft, destroyers and patrol boats for the defence industry, underwater vehicles and submarines, and big ocean cruiseliners; the high-speed ferry industry; insurance sector; and marine consultancy firms. It is also an excellent gateway to a career in government in the areas of commercial shipping, transport policy and administration.
Ocean Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering (Ocean Engineering) with Honours prepares students for careers designing and managing the installation of offshore, subsea and coastal structures for the oil and gas industry, in particular the offshore industry; the renewable energy industry; coastal and environmental engineering; marine consultancy firms; and ocean research organisations.
Marine and Offshore Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering (Marine and Offshore Engineering) with Honours is unique to AMC and focuses on the design, manufacture, deployment and commissioning of machinery and systems associated with the marine and offshore industries. Marine systems focus on the selection, deployment and commissioning of machinery, mechanical and electrical systems and operational systems designed to support the ship and underwater vehicle industry.
There are many exciting developments being driven by increased fuel costs and the need to lower the environmental impact of vessels and oil rigs. You can get involved in engineering alternative marine power systems or improving crude oil extraction to reduce emissions while maximising yield.
Naval Shipbuilding College
$90 billion has been committed to build a strong, sustainable and innovative Australian naval shipbuilding industry to serve Australia's naval defences, protect our maritime borders and create thousands of new jobs for decades to come. The Naval Shipbuilding Plan is a national endeavour involving all states and territories and will deliver enduring, long-term benefits for Australia's naval shipbuilding industry, workforce and national economy for generations to come. Discover how you can be part of Australia's history-making Naval Shipbuilding Program and join the National Workforce Registry.

This program is only available to students who have completed the first two years of the Bachelor of Engineering (Maritime Majors) at the Auckland University of Technology. Students continue to complete Year 3 and Year 4 requirements as described below.
The Bachelor of Maritime Engineering (Specialisation) (Honours) requires the completion of 400 credit points comprising:
The Core units are compulsory for all students and consist of 8 units in Year 1 (100 credit points), 8 units in Year 2 (100 credit points), 3 units in Year 3 (37.5 credit points) and 5 units in Year 4 (inclusive of research project and design units) (62.5 credit points).
In Year 3, you will select your engineering Specialisation from the following: Marine and Offshore Engineering, Naval Architecture or Ocean Engineering. 6 specialist units (75 credit points) will be completed in Years 3 and 4.
In the Elective component you can choose from any units marked as "Student Electives" which you meet the pre-requisites for, at any level, from across the university. To search for possible Elective units, use the Unit Search tool to search by the discipline that you are interested in.
Your electives can be used to add breadth to your degree, by exploring a variety of different subject areas from within or outside the College of Sciences and Engineering. Alternatively, you can deepen your engagement with specific subject areas, for example, by completing additional units in the same discipline as your major or related fields.
In addition to the 400 credit points, all engineering students must undertake 12 weeks of industrial experience, typically in the summer between your third and fourth year, via a work placement. You will enrol in the unit JEE94 Engineering Professional Practice (0 credit points) and must receive an ungraded pass (UP) in this unit to be eligible to graduate.
